Gibson will patrol the crease Thursday, facing the Flyers on the road, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Registerreports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson is seeking his first win of the season after three starts, but there's really no reason to panic. The Pittsburgh native is known for his calm demeanor between the posts, and we're thinking with a little more support offensively -- Anaheim has supported him with only five total goals -- the 23-year-old backstop will right the ship.

Gibson gave up two goals -- both power-play tallies by Taylor Hall -- on 28 shots in Tuesday's road loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks' season-opening road swing has not been kind to them, as they're still searching for their first win, with Gibson on the hook for three losses (one in overtime) already. This was his strongest game yet, but Hall's two goals 4:11 apart in the second period turned around a 1-0 Ducks lead, and the Anaheim offense again failed to rise to the task. Gibson has been supported by only five goals through his three starts thus far, painfully reminding Ducks fans of last year's stone-cold start. His own stats don't look too hot either, but that'll change soon enough.

Gibson will defend the cage in Tuesday's road matchup with the Devils, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has struggled early on this season, registering an 0-1-1 record with an ugly 3.59 GAA and .860 save percentage over two appearances. However, the Ducks have faced two tough opponents in the Stars and Islanders on the road in both of Gibson's starts, and should have more success going forward against easier opponents. The 23-year-old netminder could make for a sneaky play in daily contests Tuesday, as he'll be taking on an anemic Devils offense that has scored a total of three goals through their first two games of 2016-17, and may not be heavily owned due to his recent struggles.

Gibson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
A strong effort from Gibson, who helped the Ducks earn a single point. The 23-year-old has yet to pick up a win in two appearances this season and has given up seven goals, but he's too good not to move into the win column soon. Gibson posted a .920 save percentage last season and should be in for a heavy workload this year on a talented Anaheim squad.

Gibson will start Sunday's matchup with the Islanders, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was the expected starter going into Sunday afternoon and was confirmed when he led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups. He'll look to bounce back after a rough first start and get his first win of the season against a potent Islanders offense.

Gibson is the expected starter for Sunday's game against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson received the night off for the first game of a back-to-back set for the Ducks on Saturday night, so he will return between the pipes for Sunday's contest. He didn't fair well in his first game, allowing four goals on 20 shots, but will look to turn things around in another tough matchup with the Islanders.

Gibson allowed four goals on just 20 shots in Thursday's season-opening 4-2 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
This was a surprisingly weak performance from Gibson in a game that the Ducks dominated on the ice but lost between the pipes. He was fighting an illness late in preseason, so perhaps that's to blame for the 23-year-old's lackluster 2016-17 debut. Despite this slow start, Gibson is expected to set career highs in counting stats across the board with Frederik Andersen now in Toronto.

Gibson will slide between the pipes Wednesday against the Stars, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson skipped Sunday's preseason contest against the Sharks due to an illness, but is ready to go for the start of the regular season. With Frederik Andersen dished to Toronto, the youngster has been handed the primary netminder job permanently. He starts the season facing a tough task against a Stars club that led the league in scoring last season.

An illness prevented Gibson from suiting up in Sunday's exhibition finale against the Sharks, Curtis Zupke of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Newcomer Jonathan Bernier received the start instead. Anaheim opens the season against the Stars in Dallas on Thursday, so Gibson will aim to get healthy in time for that contest as he's the undisputed No. 1 backstop for the Ducks. Last year, he was a totally different player at home, fashioning a 1.80 GAA in 23 games at the Honda Center in contrast to a 2.43 GAA over 17 road matches.

Gibson turned aside 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Team Sweden on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was triumphant in his first start of the tournament after taking over for Matt Murray in North America's loss to Russia on Monday. The Ducks' No. 1 netminder made a couple massive stops in a wild 3-on-3 overtime frame, eventually allowing Nathan MacKinnon the opportunity to bury the winner past Henrik Lundqvist with 49 seconds left. The fate of the North Americans' tournament hopes depends on whether Finland can play spoiler and knock off Russia on Thursday afternoon, and if they do, it's probably safe to expect Gibson to get the nod once again.
